PREFACE.
„ t r-^ -- "i f^
The buiyiiig-gmuncl of Plymouth is, of course, a place
of great interest to the citizens of the town : and visitors
from other places feel a sad ple;isure in wandering among
the tombs of past generations. A few of these t(>ml)s
contain remains of the oiiginal adventurers ; many are
occupied hy the bodies of their immedi;ite descendants
who were imbued with the Piliirim spirit — worldly enter-
prise controlled and sanctified by fervid religious faith.
Among the earlier numbers (No. 53, etc.) mention is
made of six gravestones bearinir dates in the 17th cent-
ury. As I proceeded in my work I found two others
plainly inscribed of the century mentioned, and one next
to No. 435 having the face scaled off, so that no inscrip-
tion is perceptible, but which, judging from its surround-
ings, is, in all probability, erected at the grave of Nath-
aniel, son of Nathaniel and Mary Thomas ; his death is
said to have occurred in 1697, — there are then but eight
pr nine bearing date of sixteen hundred and odd years.

These are —
Williiim Bradford, 1G57.
John Howhind, 1G72,
EdvvMrd Gray, 1681,
William Crowe, 1G83-4,
Hannah Clark, 1687,

Ten cliildien of John and Josiah Cotton, 1699, and the
defaced tombstone of Nathaniel Thomas (1697?)
It is well known that the earliest burying-ground of the
Pilgrim Fathers was on Cole's Hill. To conceal from the
Indians all knowledge of the number of deaths among the
new settlers, i)ains were taken to hide ail traces of sepul-
tuie. Excavations on the hill sometimes reveal long-
hidden tombs ; and on one of these — near the steps which
lead to The Rock — has been placed a polished granite
slab, on which is engraved in capitals the following
inscriptions :
On this hill the Pilgrims who died the first winter were
buried. This tablet marks the spot where lies the body
of one found October 8, 1883. The body of another
found on the 27th of the following month lies 8 feet
northwest of the westerly corner of this stone.
Erected 1884.
The "unlettered muse" spoken of by Gray has, in
many instances, supervised the spelling and piujct nation
on tile tombstones of Burial Hill. The various styles of
contracted words and the differences in lettering could not
be exactly imitated in ordinary t3''pe, — but the author of
this work has made as close an approximation to the en-
graved inscriptions as ordinary type would permit. If
other than copied errors are found, I believe they will be
trifling, and within negligible limits.

the descendants of Elder Thomas Cushman, to make room, as they
say, "for a more enduring memorial." The original gravestone of
"purijle Welsh slate" is as fresh in appearance as if it had just left
the hand of the engraver. The new monument is more showy, hut
whether it will he "more enduring" than the humhler Welsh slate is
a question of time, — a (luestion which the descendants of Ehier Cush-
man, some thousand or more years hence, may be able to solve. The
inscription on the purple Welsh slate is as follows, — all in capital let-
ters:]
Here Ij'eth buried ye 1)0(1}^ of that precious servant of
God Mr. Thomas Cushman, who after he had served iiis
generation according to the will of God, and particularly
the church of Plymouth for many years in the oflice of a

To vindicate the enterprise of Christian emigration ;
And there remained in the service of the Colony
Till -MDCXXV,
When, having prepared to make Plymouth
His permanent home,
[Second tablet — West side:]
He died, lamented hy the forefathers
as "their ancient friend. — who was
as their right hand with their friends
the adventurers, and for divers years
had done and agitated all their business
with them to their great advantage."
"And you, my loving friends, the adventurers
to this plantation, as your care has been first
to settle religion here before either protit
or popularity, so, I pray you, go on.
I rejoice ^that you shall be repaid
with your riches, and I trust you shall be repaid
again"^double and treble in this world, yea,
and the memory of this action shall never die."

Lead supplied with wings, or even a questionable '^cherubic" face,
tliis presented drapery of curtains, arranged in gracefully curving
folds. On my return to Plymouth two or three years ago, I sought
for this stone unsuccessfully, and supposed it had been removed to
Oak Grove. Some time after, I happened to be on Burial Hill at an
hour in the morning when the sun's rays threw the incised letters
into shadow, when, lo! the familiar name and brief inscription re-
appeared, though scracely legible. The only words on the stone
which can be read at any time are the two in the epitaph "may
endure" — which have no possible reference to white marble. A
V-shaped portion is gone from the top at centre; the monument is
gray, and wasting away, grain by grain. It is to be regretted that
this same material, apparently from the same quarry, has been so
extensively employed here. Eighty years is a longer period than white
marble can be expected to endure; it is but seventy years since my
boyish fancy was charmed with the beauty of 321, — now ubread and

Tilley, one of the Mayflower Company. The correction should be
made, lest the thought "Here lies the body" be exchanged for "Here
lies the stone."

P^LIZABpyrH his wife. She was the dau.tr of Gov.
Carver. They arrived in the Mayflower, Dec. 1620.

What though this sad this gloomy hill contains
Of relatives and friends the loved remains
Yet in our breasts let cheerful hopes arise
Again to meet in "mansions" of the skies.
[Note (by the author). The aboue epitaph was written by Mr.
Benjamin Drew (b. 1767) a son of the decedent. The same Mr. Drew
was once requested to write an epitai)h on Mr. Barnabas Holmes (No.
680) his brother-in-law, who attained the ripe age of 81 years. Mr.
Drew wrote the following:
By temperance taught, a few, advancing slow,
To distant fate by easy journeys go.
Calmly they lie then down like evening sheep, —
On their own woolly fleeces softly sleep.
— but objection arose to these lines on the ground that Mr. Holmes
had, at some time in his life, been a mutton-dealer! Accordingly Mr.
Drew threw them aside, and penned the epitaph now on the monu-
ment No. 680.]

ters, caused Mr. Clark's de (s) ceudants to leave out the letter S in
two words of the inscription.]

both of the wisdom aud knowledge of God ! how un-
searchable are his judgments ; and his ways past finding

Save for the friends I hold so dear,
To heal her sorrow, Lord, descend,
And to the friendless prove a friend.
The sick, the pris'ner, poor and hlind,
And all the sons of grief,
In him a henefactor found
He loved to give relief.

With willing minds and ardent feet

[This No. takes the place of No. 370, q. v. 2161 is a fine, beautiful
block of slate, firm and compact. It is six inches in thickness, and
about four feet hifrh. This stone has been substituted for the former
one in order to correct what Bradford's History of Plymouth Colony
shows to have been an error . On the new stone a vessel under sail
takes the place of the old-time symbol ; and on the upper corners are
sculptured representations of scallop shells.]

descended a numerous posterity.
"He was a godly man and an ancient professor iu the wayes of
Christ. He was one of the first comers into this land and was the
last man that was left of those that came over in the Shipp called the
Mayflower that lived in Plymouth."

No. 2162.
[Erected to preserve the original stone No. 295 (Nathaniel Good-
win). No. 2162 is a tall handsome block of granite, from the face of
which was scooped a cavity of right depth and dimensions to receive
and protect No. 295,— which, fitted to and secured within said cavity,
will, it is hoped, successfully resist the assaults of time and the ele-
ments for centuries to come.]
[At about a mile from the Town-house, on South street, was form-
erly a "pest-house," in which small-pox patients were treated. Near
the site of the pest-house are several graves ; two are marked by
headstones,— only one however, has an inscription ; this it seems to
the author advisable to insert, although from the circumstances of
the case the interment of Mrs. Mayhew was remote from Burial
Hill :]
]VIARY IMAYHEW wife of THOMAS MAYHEW,
Esqr. who Deed Sept. 3d 1776 Aged 54 years.
[Note. If any errors or omissions are discovered in this work,
the author would be glad to be informed thereof, that the proper
corrections and insertions may be made in a third edition. But he
requests his correspondents not to delay ; for, being in his 85th year,
he is perfectly aware that erelong the crossbones and hour-glass may
decorate his own headstone. Address Benjamin Drew, 48 Summer
street, Plymouth, Mass.]
